The Queer Family Podcast | S13 Ep 3 | Kate Brooks is the author of "Transister, Raising Twins In A Gender-Bending World," an affirming and honest account of her young daughter's transition. Kate gives us a candid, straight, cis-gendered mother's perspective on what it was like for her to go from having what she thought were twin "boys" to ultimately having a son and a daughter who are both happy, healthy, kind - and thankfully, alive. This family's journey is one of discovery, celebration, and love. 

"He said to me, "Mama, when I was in your tummy, it was a mistake. I was supposed to come out a girl." Kate Brooks

"In order to be counted you have to be part of the conversation, or it's like you don't exist." Kate Brooks
